They won't pick up your package if it's not there to pickup.

Steam Summer Sale is on right now.

Picked up the bolts to secure the base and found some old braided hose I can use to hide the cord from socket to the base, also going to pick up a lamp kit tomorrow to figure out how that's going to work.

Just got word cancer put down a friend. No good after sentence for that... just dang. That ol boy was something else I tell ya. Not a terribly close friend but trusted and there won't be another like him. Part of the over 40 discomfort is the increased frequency of that type news.

I dig the braided line, beats zip ties Russo.

Death is all around it seems. A guy my brother went to school with was killed last week in probably one of the most horrible ways you could die. He was 29 and left behind a 2 year old daughter and fiancee.

There is another guy who has actually been in the national news that was killed by ISIS in Syria, Keith Broomfield. He is the brother of a guy who is a vendor on some other forums I frequent. Mr. Broomfield was only 36.

Scum of the earth need to die.

Iiiinteresting.... and awful. I was lucky enough to live through my early miscalculations of people and hot-headed actions, some are not that fortunate. Lessons learned, you gotta play a few moves ahead of the bad guys. The self-esteem / destruction subject is a place we needn't go and I'm steppin back on that.

My friend that passed had lived through a pool cue entering alongside the eyeball and bouncing off the back of his skull in a bar fight. Only reason he was alive was there was a hosp across from the bar. He was amazingly un-hindered by that but was always a little wild.

Noticed a cop watching a stop sign/radar after I already went through it. Got lucky, I don't usually make a very good stop at the sign there since it really should be a yield sign with how easy it is to see traffic way ahead of time. But anyway just actually felt like making a mostly complete stop for once which is odd for me there. There wasn't even any traffic near me. I ease into WOT to about 6 mph under the speed limit before I notice him at all, hiding behind a building. Let off to a few under and hope he doesn't go after me, and luckily he didn't. whew. New spot for me to check every time I go through there now. When you drive the same route every work day, you know where all the cops sit. I check them all every time, it pays off quite often. Today caught me off guard as this is a new one to add to the list.

I hate seeing those but love knowing where they are. Theres a church up by work where stateys wait, and a graveyard in town where they hide good too. One good thing about routine lol.

Took the sway bar off my dad's truck. Semi rust proofed with grease


Also poked around the other side, finding one weak spot. Greased that side too.

I couldn't grease the inside of the gearbox side since thee are no holes big enough to get a brush into, so I sprayed motor oil all inside the frame until everything was wet with oil. Used a blow gun and pump oiler.
That should make it last another year or two to keep the gearbox or idler arm from falling off

Jesus. That's not safe, lol.

time for a new frame, or off to shop to to do a pro patching job. hes taking his life in his hands like that. i sure hope he dont load it up much or tow with it.

+ me, on that. A small accident could have unimagined results with that much rot. When core supports become loose, the vehicle can't crash as a unit as intended. So if somebody was to run a red light and rake across the front or in the case of a multi car rearend hit or rollover... hood corner in face becomes a possibility. Maybe Father's day you could show him some potential other trucks, just to spur the thought process away from the danger truck.

I build my own turbo setup...I don't understand why it has issues.

looks kosher to me...........NOT

He needs some more PVC pipe and zip ties I think.

that looks EXACTLY how my step brother puts things together with ZIP TIES
